Respectful Classrooms

Classrooms and workplaces should be environments in which everyone is
treated with respect and encouraged to contribute and do their best.
Sexual harassment should not be tolerated. If you have questions
about this issue, you can contact the Sexual Harassment Officer, Lori Yetman,
737-2015, Room 4012, Memorial Unversity Centre, loriy@mun.ca,
or logon to http://www.mun.ca/sexualharassment

This website is very useful in giving examples of what constitutes harassment
and how to deal with it, and it also gives tips to educators on how to
ensure a supportive environment in the lab/classroom.
